Dill and Pickles are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.
Dill and Pickles. Pickles and Dill. We wouldn't dream of having one without the other! These sweet brothers are a bundle of "binky" joy. In a home with space to roam, these rabbits will walk, flop, and zoom together. Always sweet and never spicy, this pickle pair will melt your heart.
Dill and Pickles were recently in a foster home, and here's what their foster had to say about them: Dill and Pickles are very shy by nature, but they have some encouraging signs of wanting to be friendly with people! I've spent lots of time sitting and laying on the floor with them so they can get used to my presence, and I think it has helped a lot. They come up to me and boop me with their noses and will fall into a deep sleep next to me, which is very cute. Dill is especially fooled by me acting very still and forgets he was ever scared of me! He'll climb all over my legs and wonder why this very large human-shaped object is taking up his space! Dill is also very clumsy, and he thinks he's a lot sneakier than he is, which is hilarious. He is hoping for an adopter who will stay very still for him and give him lots of treats! Pickles is much smarter and will take a little more time to warm up to you since he isn't as easily tricked. That said, he was a very brave explorer in his first few days and loves finding new cozy corners to nap in. He has very unique double-helicopter ears that always express what he's thinking and feeling.
They both sit extremely well for grooming and don't mind it too much. Their litter box habits are great after some initial marking. They might tolerate a cat friend but probably won't like dogs or children. They still don't let me pet them but are happy to relax around me as long as I don't bother them. They will need a patient adopter who doesn't mind waiting a few months to build their trust before petting them.
They get super excited for food and treats (or really anything that sounds like their crinkly treat bag!) and have started doing nightly zoomies and binkies! Pickles especially loves to binky for minutes on end and show me how much he loves being in a safe foster home. He has recently started exploring his natural rabbit behaviors more as he feels more at home and is enjoying chewing on toilet paper rolls. The boys also love rearranging their toys and boxes exactly how they like them - although sometimes this means plopping things in their water bowl!
Also, I was initially worried about not being able to tell them apart, but their appearances are quite different and their personalities are very distinct, so I haven't had any trouble at all.
Dill and Pickles are neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian once a year.
